This course was an introduction of design. We often referred to the word CRAP meaning contrast, repetition, alignment, and proximity. This course was exciting. In week 1 we looked at different images such as the poster from the movie Sweet Home Alabama and the choice of text, size, and colors used to reflect the movie title and the feeling the audience receives. I learned how important these four words are in media relations and to advertising in general. The style of text used has an interpretation to the reader.
In week 2, I got historical persepective of the eveloution of the thinking of mankind and the way we see things. The readings were very interesting.
I thought of myself as a teacher and as a brand. I created my own logo. It was creative to think of myself as a brand and an image. We looked at the website for the British Library. It is a source for virtual books for free. I have never been so facinated with the works of technology. The discussion board was full of amazement and interesting comments of interpretation from all of us.
